Visio 2013 writes backward

We use Visio 2013 Pro with "autosave" every 5 minutes.

If we write some text on a shape in the Moment, Visio saves the file - the text from that Moment writes backward...

we write: "this is a Topic I like to" *autosave* "talk about if you ask me"

and it Looks like this:

smoKing40, thanks for the tip.

Answer 2

I had the exact same problem with a larger Visio file.  Since enabling autosave, when is auto saves, the text of the shape I am working in stops showing the text I am typing.  When I release focus of the shape, the text I was typing is backwards.   

This file was originally created in Visio 2010 as a VSD file.  What I found was that when I save the file as a VSDX, the issue goes away.

Answer 3

Hi, I tried to repro this with autosave set to 5 minutes and even 1 minute. Not able to repro. I doubt it has anything to do with autosave.  If you have a consistent repro, please pass on.
